XRGB Mini help

Post by K0rN b4LL »

I got my XRGB Mini Framemeister in the mail today and hooked it up to my Toro box. Everything seems to be hooked up right (got the Euroscart adapter) but for some reason the picture has a blue tint to it. The DC didn't do that when I had a regular VGA cable hooked up to an HDMI adapter, and the XRGB displays my N64 no problem. (composite, don't have an s-vid cable for it yet) I've gone through all the color and picture options I can find on this thing but can't figure it out. Anyone know if what it is that might be causing this? Or where I might go to find out?

I put the settings to what he had but it didn't fix it. Might very well be the cable since I didn't know which one to get. Here is what I am using-

That looks like the correct cable, and of course I'm assuming you're using a Scart to XRGB plug as well since your other consoles are working fine.

It might be your cable unfortunately :( At least that's my best guess.


This is the brand I use

She makes the best cables ever in my opinion. For example with my Sega Genesis I had horrible buzzing with some scart cables, but with her's I got better picture and perfect sound.

I guess I can try it out. My wallet is taking one hell of a beating from ordering all this stuff :p. I'm just praying it isn't a problem with the Toro, it spent a month sitting in a ziplock bag before I finally got my XRGB.

Hopefully it isn't your Toro. But I bet beharbros would exchange it for you if a new cable ended up not working. Good Luck!

It's the Toro, or at least the cable to the DC. I wiggled it around a bit and the picture changed between normal and blue. On the up side if I position it right it stays normal. I had already ordered that scart cable too. Oh well, guess I'll be sending BBS an email.
